Please. They are totally in the tank for Obama.

The Media reports only on the radicals of both The Tea Party and OWS. If these two ever joined forces, the media and Government would be in a frenzy. For the time being they are content at playing the two sides against one another.
The media favors OWS.

What about the unruly behavior, mass arrests and violence, requiring police intervention at the majority of occupy wall streets rallies?

The name alone "occupy" is confrontational, and it's not a euphemism, they actually take over, they set up tents, sleep in them and occupy these areas. Then they get violent, defecate in public, cross police barriers and resort to throwing rocks and bottles at the police.

Not true. The media favors sensationalism. At first, the OWS thing couldn't even be found. When it DID pop up on CNN, they had some douche with an editorial condemning it, on the front page.

No no no.

Sean Hannity represents Fox news. Then comes Glenn Beck and the rest of the RWNJ's puking on my airwaves.

Aside from that, don't you get that it's all a big scam? The liberal programming doesn't come from "liberals". It comes from corporations. Makes people soft. Tolerant. Passive. .......hmmm progressive?

It's about making you swallow the pounds and pounds of feces fed to us by big business and our government on a daily basis. It's not necessarily a conspiracy. It's the status quo
Sorry, not buying this deflection of claiming the media, because its corporate owned, isn't skewed to the left. Look at what they did last January after the Loughner shootings. They went right along with vile leftist blogs such as Daily Kos in pointing the finger of blame at Sarah Palin and the Tea Party. Even when there was absent any evidence that Palin or some "rhetoric" from the right was Loughner's motivation, the media still (!) tried to pin the blame on her. When it became glaringly apparent that Loughner was insane, the "objective" media instead of admitting their disgusting behavior in the whole ordeal attempted instead to segue their narrative into some sort of concern over the "tone" coming from the right, which led of course to the Tuscon pep ral......um....memorial service, with its call from Obama for a "New Civility".

Yes, the media is biased, and its biased towards the Left. It goes right along with the Left's goals and narratives because they are ideologically in step, and because its what Dear Leader wants.

It seems like every day we get a new video of something happening at an OWS protest that shows extremely bad judgement and illegal activity by OWS supporters. We've all ready the reports of people being raped in tents by strangers, people ranting against Jews, people stealing expensive electronics, people hurling rocks and bottles at police, people ignoring laws which are meant to protect public property, people defacing public property, etc etc etc. Why do liberals automatically attempt to make it seem like those are non-existent instances that in no way represent the OWS movement as a whole but the minute you saw someone holding a sign at a Tea Party protest with a photo of Obama with a bone in his nose you instantly labeled every single person who's ever even thought about supporting the Tea Party a racist bigot?

Please explain this gross lack of logic on the part of liberals, especially those here on CD. To me it seems pretty clear that you're now dealing with the exact same treatment you dished out to the Tea Party supporters and you don't like it one bit...

Before you go crazy and attack me personally because you don't like my message, please save your time.

If you intend to deny that these things have taken place at OWS events all over this country, please don't waste your time in here because I'll start posting video after video that proves you wrong.
The tea party is not even relevant anymore. None of your candidates will beat Obama. We won. Tea party lost. That simple. Rubio is going down as the last tea party flare.

Just because a couple of idiots showed up at a Tea Party gathering with racially inflammatory messages does not mean that they are indicative of the entire Tea Party--yet somehow, the presence of these dissidents labled the entire movement as racist.

Imagine that.

I guess that pretty much sums up the ignorance and outright hate fostered by the left, so angry and blinded by hate that you can't even acknowledge or answer the simple questions asked of you.

Exactly, and on the other side you have a few OWS nut jobs walking around with racist and antisemitic signs and the liberal fools here on CD fall over themselves to remind everyone that the actions of a few people isn't indicative of an entire group of people.

Why the double standard libs? Why are you clearly against equality?

I don't know about all tea partiers, but it seems like the tea party supporters on this forum are straight up racist. Not all, just 8 out of 10. There are a few here and there who are not, but the vast majority who post on this forum are pretty racist.

Some have come out in favor of White Pride and wear it like a badge of honor. If that isn't racist, I don't know what is.

The evidence presented in this, and other threads, suggests that ALL Americans are racist, police-car-deffacating-on rapists.
